So far, Canada and the United States governments have not implemented Sharia law common to Islamic ruled nations. Here in North America there are actually laws that prohibit hatred towards people of faith, sexual orientation and race.

This is good!

However, when you read the following article, you may be shocked to find out there are many in the world who get away with hateful acts by having laws in their countries that permit physical abuse and torture.

However, these same laws that permit hatred in other places, (if some have their way) may be coming to your state or province soon in the name of equal rights. Wouldn't that be an oxymoron?

September 5 - 'Iran orders 99 lashes for woman facing execution'

Article: Misc.

Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashitiani, an Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery, has also been sentenced to 99 lashes for a photo published of her without a headscarf, according to her son.

He said that a prison judge confirmed that she was to be lashed for spreading "corruption and indecency" by the publication of a photograph of her without a headscarf that appeared in a British newspaper.

The Times of London published on August 28 a photo of a woman without a headscarf that it said was Mohammadi-Ashtiani, however on September 3 it said the attribution of the photo, which it received from one of her lawyers that has fled Iran, was incorrect. The photo "... is certainly not that of my mother," said Sajjad.

Mohammadi-Ashtiani, a 43-year-old mother of two, was given the death penalty for an extramarital relationship.

Iran has subsequently said she was also convicted of being an accomplice in her husband's death, though she has denied that was the case.
